Tower of Babel

They say Four thousand years before today When supposedly they tried to make tower of clay Tower that their desire to reach heaven would convey Tower of Babel was supposed to be two miles high Reaching far into the sky But no matter how high At the door to the heaven its top would not lay Are there beings in outer space? Or is earth only living place In any way our earth is a place That to exist requires entire space Earth is forty thousand kilometers long But to sing earths entire song Not just creatures it has but solar system to which it does belong Would take unbelievable tongue And everything had to affect everything else For the conditions for existence of life to suffice As the life would surface There had to be almost perfect balance For it to bloom Like child from the womb And to grow it required room But to begin lots more room What is on the other side? Maybe nothing but that would be sad sight And that is why building tower of Babel they tried And although unsuccessful their bravery cannot be denied Infinity Different then number divided by zero would be Similarly Heaven is not just immortality On outer reaches of our solar system magnetic bubbles appear And about solar wind protecting us form gamma rays you also hear On the outer part of solar system there are comets forming a sphere But it took entire universe long time for life to appear I prefer forest over sandy dune Because there is more life in the forest than upon the dune To death we refer as dark side of the moon But I would like while being alive to see metaphoric light on the dark side of that moon
